Bilawal, Bakhtawar and Asifa Zardari, the children of Asif Ali Zardari and Benazir Bhutto, are likely to start their political career with the People’s Students Federation and the PPP women’s wing,

Sources in the Pakistan People’s Party told Daily Times on Saturday that Mr Zardari told a delegates from the PSF and the Ladies’ Wing at Bilawal House this week that he wanted to see his children become active in politics.

The three children, who at present study in Dubai where Ms Bhutto lives in self-exile, will not be able to play an active role in politics until the completion of their education, the sources said.

However, they will remain in contact with seniors in the students’ and women’s wings of the PPP for political training.

“Mr Zardari said he wanted Bakhtawar and Asifa to learn from the seniors in the Ladies’ Wing,” said MNA Nafisa Raja, who is president of the organisation’s Karachi chapter.

Mr Zardari, who son of former MNA Hakim Ali Zardari, also has other members of his family in politics. One of his sisters, Faryal Talpur, is nazim of his home district of Nawabshah and another, Dr Azra Pechuho, is MNA from there.

Sources in the PPP said that the announcement of Bakhtawar and Asifa joining the Ladies Wing could be made at the organisation’s next convention.

Mr Zardari reportedly hinted at having Bilawal join the PSF when an official of the Sindh People’s Students Federation complained that the PPP leaders do not allow their sons to join the party’s students wing.

The major dilemma of our country is this that we don’t have political institutions to train the coming generation so that they could emerge as mature politicians. It is common trend in our country that children of leaders came into politics without any acquaintance with politics. It is very good gesture by President Zardari to train their children before entering in the field of politics. In the absence of valid political institutions the student organizations like PSF are the best training institutes.

No doubt that Bilawal, Asifa and Bakhtawar are the children of those leaders who best served and serving this country. I think no one can best serve this country than Benazir Bhutto Shaheed and President Zardari. History witnessed the movement that when the country was the verge of disintegration Zardari saved the country and similar Benazir Bhutto Shaheed rendered her life for Pakistan. No one can better serve this country except this family and it is fortunate for this country that President has hinted to bring all his children in politics. In last line it is written that “an official of the Sindh People’s Students Federation complained that the PPP leaders do not allow their sons to join the party’s student’s wing”

I don’t know why people are trying to malign the image of PPP. PPP is a democratic party and I can’t believe on this allegation. I personally know many of people who served in PSF and now their children are party officials. How ever this is not a new thing accusations are always made against parties and leadership but such thing cannot malign the image of PPP and destroy reality.
